Hellzero Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 In the affordable lightweight easy to use amps, there's the amazing Warwick LWA1000 with twin channels, simple EQ and switchable compressor. It's exactly the same power amp as the way more expensive TrickFish Bullhead 1K despite what some people pretend. Only on the second hand market as it's not made anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Does anyone have any experience with the Orange Little Bass Thing? Looks as if it would tick most of my boxes, but would need to try one first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC Electronic are an excellent company producing really cool bass equipment. I have a TC Bam, BH250, BC208 cab (10.4kg) and an assortment of their pedals of which, are all excellent given their modest cost.

If it's any thing like the Orange 4-Stroke, it'll be very loud and very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

symcbass Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Another vote for the Quilter. I bought it as a back up in the first instance. Very simple but effective eq, and one of the loudest amps I've owned for its advertised power. Very solid in the low end, when the contour eq is engaged goes from mid scoop to vintage. Sounds very musical, and weighs nothing!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 And yet another vote for the Quilter BB800. Simple, lightweight, small, LOUD, and great sounding. And built using good quality components. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Problem solved (hopefully!) - just bought an Orange Little Bass Thing from Oxford PMT. Nice punchy sound, and I especially like the parametric mid range control. Very straightforward panel, just volume, compression (yeah, I know…) bass mid and treble. Looking forward to giving it a good trying out at home tomorrow. Edited July 1, 2021 by FinnDave 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how 'orange' it sounds 🙂 I like the Orang sound... a lot, and if this delivers, it might be a good alternative to an Elf for me.

I bought as a 'big Elf', as I am very impressed with the simplicity of my Elf and this is similar. I don't really see it as an alternative to the Elf, but a substitute for those occasions that require a bit more power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
